Yes to POS
The Engage One Pro comes packaged within a sophisticated aluminum frame and boasts a hidden cable management system to keep counter spaces uncluttered. It also promises outstanding speed using 10th-generation Intel Core i9 processors to make sure transactions are completed as efficiently as possible.
Customization is also a core strength of the Engage One Pro. Businesses can set up the device as a traditional POS system, a self-service machine or interactive signage. Retailers can also position the device however suits them best, adjusting the display orientation, setting the height and shifting the tilt for maximum usability.
Retailers are increasingly looking to point-of-sale systems to enhance the in-store experience, but deploying the right POS solution is vital. Research indicates that 86% of retailers believe that the design of a POS device is important, while 67% cited durability as a key factor. The HP Engage One Pro looks like it will provide a solid addition to the POS landscape that performs well on both counts. It is expected to be available from January 2021.
“Retail and hospitality operators need more power and flexibility in order to deliver the choice, convenience, and personalization customers expect,” said Aaron Weiss, vice president and general manager of Retail Solutions at HP.
